On the eve of the American election, war is brewing
between China and Russia as each side masses soldiers
on their common border—all over a Chinese plan to
divert a crucial water supply that currently supplies a
key Russian agricultural center.

Each side is desperate to find out what happens in the
American election because the Democratic candidate,
Senator Frederick Thurston, supports the Chinese
position while the Republican candidate, Florida
Governor Sam Houston St. Clair, supports the Russians.
In a jolting development late on Election night, a tie
in the Electoral College (something that’s actually
happened a couple of times in U.S. history) creates a
deadlock. The Constitution mandates that the newly
elected House of Representatives, convening in January,
will determine the election.

Late that Election night, incumbent Republican President
Jeffrey Norwalk spends time alone in the Oval Office.
Also up late is Norwalk’s Aide for Congressional
Liaison, Phil Slanetti, who has over the years built up a
laundry list of dirt on members of Congress.

Norwalk meets with him and tells Slanetti to gear up to
use the damaging information in the secret Keystone File
to blackmail members of the House to vote for St. Clair.
They only have 8 weeks till the new Congress is sworn in.

A serial killer that only targets meter maids is loose on South Beach, and even though tall, dark and
handsome Detective Jake Bricker knows who the next victim will be, he’s flummoxed by a devious killer who
eludes his clutches. As the body count rises, the news becomes an international sensation. Copycat killings
spread across the U.S., and then the world. Cynical Mayor Johnny Germane is pushing hard for the cops to
catch the killer because he’s up for re-election. Even the President visits South Beach to make an appeal.

With its film noir shadings, the TV series is a satire on the hardboiled detective novel and all the movies
made from them. Also, it’s a comment on cynical politicians.
